Introduction; Models; Features; Technical Specifications - DSC TL260 Installation Manual

IMPORTANT
The TL260 and TL265 Ethernet Communicator is fixed, wall-mounted, and shall be installed in the position specified in these
instructions. The equipment enclosure must be fully assembled and closed, with all the necessary screws/tabs and secured to a
wall before operation. Internal wiring must be routed in a manner that prevents:
• Excessive strain on wire and on terminal connections,
• Interference between power limited and non power limited wiring,
• Loosening of terminal; connections, or
• Damage of conductor insulation.
The Communicators are Ethernet only and send alarm communication to Sur-Gard System I, II, and III monitoring station receivers
through Ethernet/Internet. The Ethernet Communicator can be used as either a backup or primary Communicator. The Ethernet
Communicator supports IP transmission of panel and internal events over Ethernet.

Models

The TL260 Communicator is compatible with PC1616, PC1832, and PC1864 v4.1+.
The TL265 Communicator is compatible with ALEXOR PC9155 v1.0+.

Features

• 128-bit AES encryption via Ethernet/Internet (NIST Validation Certificate No. 995).
• Advanced remote and local programming via DSC DLS IV.
• Diagnostic Test Transmissions
• Ethernet LAN/WAN 10/100 BaseT.
• Firmware update locally or through Ethernet/Internet (using DLS IV).
• Full event reporting.
• Full keypad programming (TL265 v1.1 only).
• Panel remote uploading/downloading support via Ethernet/Internet.
• PC-LINK connection.
• Periodic test transmission.
• SIA format (SIA and Contact ID formats ALEXOR v1.1+ only).
• Supervision heartbeats via Ethernet/Internet.

Technical Specifications

The input voltage to the TL260 and TL265 Communicator can be drawn from the UL/ULC Listed Control Panel or provided by an
external UL/ULC Listed power supply rated for the application (external power-limited source).
NOTE: The power supply must be Class II, Power Limited.

UL/ULC Installation Requirements:

NOTE: For equipment used at the protected premises and intended to facilitate IP communications (hubs, routers, Network Interface
Device (NID)s, Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) and Cable modems) 24 hour back-up power is required. Where such cannot be facili-
tated, secondary (back-up) communication channel is required. Programming for Domain Name Service (DNS) is not permitted in
UL/ULC listed systems.
Using Private, Corporate, and High Speed Data Networks:
Network access and domain access policies shall be set to restrict unauthorized network access, and spoofing or Denial of Service
(DoS) attacks. Select an Internet Service Provider (ISP) that has redundant servers/systems, back-up power, routers with firewalls
enabled, and methods to identify and protect against DoS attacks (e.g., via spoofing).
Notes for using Public Switched and Wireless Data Networks:
Communication channels shall be facilitated such that the Communicator will restrict unauthorized access, which could otherwise
compromise security. Communicators shall be located in secured areas.
• For ULC Residential fire and burglary applications the TL260 and TL265 can be used as primary communication channel via Ethernet or as
a back-up in conjunction with the Digital Alarm Communicator Transmitter (DACT). Test transmission every 24 hours shall be enabled on
each channel.
• The TL260 module can be also used as an Active communication system with the Security Levels A1-A4. For Active Line Security sys-
tems the encryption AES128 bit shall be enabled at the monitoring station receiver and the supervision heartbeat rate shall be selected as
90 seconds (panel Section [851][004] = 005A/90). The supervision window at the SRC's receiver shall be programmed as maximum
00B4/180 seconds.
• For UL Residential fire and burglary applications the TL260 and TL265 can be used as primary communication channel via Ethernet, or as
a back-up in conjunction with the DACT (30 day test transmission is required on each channel).
• For Line Security systems used in UL Residential or Commercial installations, the supervision heartbeat shall be enabled (panel Section
[851][005][1] (Ethernet) shall be ON), Toggle [3] (Supervision Type) shall be ON and the supervision heartbeat rate shall be selected as
0087/135 seconds Option [004] =0087. The supervision window at the supervising station shall be maximum 00C8/200 seconds. For
Encrypted Line Security systems the encryption AES128 bit shall be enabled at the monitoring station receiver.
• The TL260 and TL265 are also suitable to be used with a compatible control unit listed for dual line security transmission when used in
conjunction with a Digital Alarm Communicator Transmitter (DACT) or a Public Switched Data Network (PSDN) transmitter, where the
PSDN provides the line security and is the primary line.

CE EMC Installation Requirements:

The IP Alarm transmission models TL260 and TL265 are in conformity with CE EMC Directive 89/336/EEC based on results using
harmonized standards in accordance with Article 10(5) and CE Low Voltage Directive 73/23/EEC as amended by 93/68/EEC based
on results using Harmonized standards.
These products meet the applicable requirements of Class II, Grade 2, ATS2-ATS5 equipment as per EN50131-1 A1:2009 and
EN50136-1-1 when used in conjunction with compatible Sur-Gard alarm receivers models SG-SYSTEM III, SG-SYSTEM II, SG-
SYSTEM I. When used in conjunction with the Control and Indicating Equipment Models PC1864, PC1832, PC1616, PC9155 the
models TL260 and TL265 can fulfill the options A, B, C, D for Grade 2 installations.
